AFAIK, both structures should give the same end result.
Turns out that while the structure I was using successfully builds and
installs, it doesn't actually install the compiled libraries - so it's
inadequate on that score. (This also should be fixed.)
Although I prefer to avoid the layout you're wanting to use, it's certainly
used by plenty of (ie most) source distros on CPAN.
It's therefore valid - and ought to be better accommodated.
Better still if we can fix things so that it "simply works" without any need
for additional config options.
In fact I'm hoping we can fix it without any need for additional
documentation, too - but that remains to be seen. In the meantime we have
your patches, to which I'll gladly resort if I don't come up with anything
better.
Thanks for raising this, and for the patches !!
Cheers,
Rob
